El día que el joven Lemuel Gulliver decidió embarcar en un navío como médico de a bordo no podía sospechar que su viaje lo llevaría a islas imposibles, a territorios inexplorados, a universos que desafían toda lógica en los que iba a vivir las aventuras más apasionantes. Tras despertar de un naufragio se hallará en una isla habitada por gente de no más de un palmo de altura, luego dará con sus huesos en una ciudad llena de gigantes, visitará un mundo que flota en el aire, un país gobernado por caballos...
La mezcla de la parodia de la sociedad europea, sus formas de gobierno y de religión, y hasta de la misma naturaleza humana, con la entretenida literatura de viajes que realizó Jonathan Swift en Los viajes de Gulliver dio como resultado este gran clásico de la literatura juvenil, una obra de la que los lectores de todas las edades pueden obtener más que jugosa lectura.
